Just Notts county and Bristol games for me.
However i feel our biggest game was Hereford, why isn't Hereford included as it was massive.
I did go to Hereford and i think that and going to the old Den for the semi play-offs against Millwall must have been my most memorable matches to date.

3. Even though I had tickets for all 4. Missed the FA Cup Final first game as Sgt Ken Woods (you bastard) would not sign off my day's leave requestDebated going AWOL for a day, but thought better of it!
Similar Story here. CPO Pat 'The Artic Barker' Garrett wouldn't sign mine so I could make either game. Spent the Saturday afternoon on the transmission platform of Mk4 sea king, with one Kieron O'Sullivan, who looked and acted like John Belushi ... and was a Cockney Red. It was a very interesting afternoon, which consisted of me evading Sully's attempt to kick the crap out of me, fortunately for me Sully wasn't that fit!. A sad note to the story is that Sully died in February .. very much missed.

I was only 1 at the time, so that's my excuse Alex. You've been going a long time, how many of these 12 did you make? The ones I included are 'do or die' games which is why I didn't include eg the Cheaterfield Championship game. I could look it up but was the Darlo game 'do or die'?

It was maddening how many Brighton fans couldn't get tickets for the cup replay. There were a lot of man ure fans in our end.

Didnt go to first play off final - had lost interest in football at that point. or may have been getting married. two things probably linked!

Primary data is fact
We won the Div 4 title by a single point in 1965 and the Darlington game was the last game of the season. That was Bobby Smith's season of course - awesome stuff and, as others have said before, it was like having Michael Owen suddenly playing for the Albion.
My first Albion game was in August 1960 but didn't get to many between 1983 and 2002 due to having a young family as well as living and working away/abroad for much of the time.
I was at the 1972 promotion game vs Rochdale; do you remember their really anaemic pale yellow kit, it looked like someone's mum had washed it on the "whites" programme by mistake?
There's never been anything quite like the 1979 game at Newcastle imo, the Cup Final was a good day out but I always thought the old Wembley was a bit of a dump.
Hereford was an emotional roller coaster of a day but looking back now, my memories of Edgar Street focus more on Wardy's first game for the first team.
I was at Walsall last season; the Bescott has always been a decent trip and the Sadlers Club is very friendly. It's one of the few places I miss from Div 1, the other being Brisbane Road and meeting up with my dodgy relatives from Leytonstone/Walthamstow.

Nil. zero. nada. I'm not going to the back of the class, I'm uber superfan because I've endured all the shite with little of the glory. You can keep your wembley's and your cardiffs coz I've got midweek defeats at macclesfield to treasure
